This sends me back.

My first-year college project, a few decades ago, was to implement 4096-bit RSA encryption, the idea of my project-mate and friend (and later valedectorian) who implemented the core math.

I recall how slow prime number generation was in our final implementation, taking ~20 minutes to generate on PA-RISC workstations. My friend, a math nerd, took it upon themselves to continue optimizing the code long after the project was over. I remember them reading papers on prime number detection, and bignum math implementations. For example, one huge improvement came when the code would detect if a number in a component multiplication was 0, then skip the multiplication and give a 0 result!

The claim that Tim Cook has let the grass grow under their feet with respect to AI doesn’t match history. Tim hired John Giannandrea away from Google six years ago to lead Apple’s machine learning and AI strategy. He reports directly to Tim, an indication of how important Tim viewed this area (most of the rest of Tim’s reports have been at Apple for decades).

Not if it's owned by the same private equity firm as the wheelchair guys; then it's just another face of the same racket.

Also, medical insurance is supposed to cover bona fide medical treatments and supplies. So this likely bumps up against regulation again. If something goes wrong with the out-of-regulation device that insurance paid of as if it were a medical wheelchair (e.g. safety incident leading to injury), they could be liable.

It's the same as why dental insurance won't pay for your next door neighbor handyman to pull out your tooth with a pair of pliers.

> This is false. For profit companies clear and custody billions per day successfully.

Those are all highly regulated industries. Some of them would love to put stuff in their T&Cs like BountySource’s “if the beneficiary doesn’t withdraw the money after 2 years we get to keep it” but the regulators would never let them. For a business like BountySource, that level of regulation does not exist
That's defined as a brisk walk, or over 100 steps per minute. I probably get an hour per day alone walking my kids to and from school.
It’s not fraud if the sales are advertised and fair… even if they’re not widely publicized. But that was just spitballing.

For 2), people loan to the PE firm because they extract all the value for themselves. Their creditors get paid. People who loan to PE-controlled firms don’t seem terribly wise to me, but maybe they can model them like junk bonds.

For 3), if the firm buys one of your clients, be cautious.
It is also naive - non profits have bountiful ways of making money disappear into pockets in all sorts of legal manners. It’s an entire industry - and by being non-profit they can be almost entirely impossible to “control” once the board is captured.

Also, I am new here. I didn't know about Hacker News before. Glad to meet you all.
Also, SF MTA and CTA have/had offices there, so it could be convenient to negotiate with local officials. But yeah, it was originally a BoFA IT bunker, never intended to be a nice building.
I spent some time there. The Uber and Block offices are beautiful, as is Twitter's up the street. Unfortunately, the street is meth hell even before night hits.

The city granted nice discounts for the CEOs to take the spots when rents were up, but now that COVID cratered the commercial real estate market and it still hasn't recovered, there is little office space demand for such a scary stretch.

This feels kind of like saying “why do I need to learn how to budget? The calculator will just do it for me.”
> What other options do you have?

Many companies are plopping offices right next to university clusters, which is a good solution if you need both talent and cost efficiencies. Consider the research Triangle in North Carolina as one example.

It’s probably shorter to just say SFs appeal is largely to fresh grads who want to party in a city and industry consolidation - both the consolidation of actual tech companies and the financial services that service them, like VCs. SF does not have any monopoly on fresh grads and no longer represents a disproportionate consolidation of the tech industry which is now very spread out.

> You are stuck making trade offs wherever you base your office, the market remains sort of efficient like that.

Absolutely there are tradeoffs. I believe people are struggling to realize the entrepreneurial tradeoffs of SF have changed (as much as I don’t want them to as a local resident), and now disproportionately encourage cynicism - oh wait AI will turn everything around never mind.
This is absolutely false. Speak to any higher level manager at big tech companies and you’ll hear the truth about various hiring and promotion programs that these companies never put in writing or talk about publicly. The reason these companies don’t get sued is those individuals are afraid of social and professional retaliation that may affect their careers, even though they’re on the right side of history.
I believe that both in most C compilers and in Rust, casting to a bigger type and multiplying does produce the exact opcode.
The annual HIPAA training I was subjected to for nearly a decade on the EMR provider side of things never brought up these scenarios, but the Privacy Rule does have carve-outs that allow PHI to be transmitted to entities that would not be considered Business Associates, if the patient consents.
True, but they win despite that.
Jail-based plugins were always half baked and brittle on Core back to when it was still called FreeNAS. Updates seemed to require complicated manual intervention every time and trying to do it through the UI was a death sentence. Scale is attempting to streamline it with container/Kubernetes-based plugins. It's got some rough edges and growing pains, but in my experience so far it has still been an improvement for me even if I liked the simplicity of jails more.

Proxmox is a better platform if you wanna run a fleet of custom VMs etc, but Scale is doing interesting things if your use case is more "plugin"-like. I use both.
Which forms of pay-for-grades are likely to be effective at Stanford?
I noticed that like since a week ago? Output faster, but not impressive. Now I just skip to stack overflow or docs. The output is also giving error a lot more, as if the libraries on which the example is based off was old. Sometimes it's really trivial task just to save time, and it's just not of any help. Still helpful when you want to start something new, it just doesn't scale that well.

He’s not making anything up. Frankly that you don’t believe something that is so widespread and well known tells me you’re not in the industry or at least not in management. Everyone knows what protected characteristics are but they still break the law because it’s unlikely they’ll get in any trouble. And that’s because everyone who is against these discriminatory programs is too afraid to speak up.

You can understand why though. Those of us in corporate land swim in an all consuming miasma of unreality. Nothing matters. Logic is irrelevant. Absurdity is the norm. Of course it skews your perspective. Yet another ill corporatism inflicts on us.
HIPAA trumps the warrant. HIPAA is serious when it says patient data can only be shared for treatment, payment, and hospital operations purposes. Law enforcement is not an allowable reason to disclose patient information without their permission.
Their barrier is definitely not their app.

However, I would not want to own a lot of Uber shares with the way FSD is progressing since v12.
I think there is a bit of a false delta fallacy being floated here. Universities / colleges never focused on the syntax. It was always about problem solving. I think what they are saying is they will continue what they have always been doing while pretending that the past is different than it actually was.
Arguably because it’s a two sided marketplace (matching drivers to riders) the network effect is very strong, so to have any success you have to dump a ton of money into marketing to gain enough users to make the app viable.
> It's not like the kids at Ivys or Stanford are really smarter than a random STEM student at the University of Texas, Iowa State or Georgia Tech anyway, the difference is mostly just privilege or luck.

A privileged upbringing could very well benefit brain health, and intelligence: better nutrition, more exercise, lower stress, more stimulating environment, etc.

If (elite school) students have higher SAT scores and better grades, does that actually correlate with "intelligence"[1] or college success[2]? Or are they just average students who got better coaching for tests or happened to get lucky?

> The spec could simply be "take a query and return a paginated list of results ranked by personalized relevancy".

The real problem is specifying what any of the quoted terms means (nouns and verbs). What is a query? What is a result? How many items in a page?... And then you recurse from whatever definitions and descriptions they gave you until what you have is terms from your favorite programming languages. Somewhere in the middle, you land into whitepapers and research materials. And sometimes the result is only good if you have PBs of data and lots of compute powers.

Having lots of code is not where you want to start unless you like to manage complexity from the get go and have clear understanding of the domain space.
Well people are technological illiterates for the most part, but the mobile platforms are dumbed down to such a degree that it would be impossible for people to learn even if they grew up with it. It's a vicious cycle, you have to design these mobile platforms for infants because that's the only way you can keep them safe, but they will never learn anything about computer or network technology using something designed to infantilize them.

The thing is, it's not that I particularly care about people, but it's made Android/iOS incredibly irritating to use, I avoid it as much as I can. It's not just that it wants to protect me from myself, as much as it doesn't let me do what I want to do, it feels like computing with a straightjacket on. Build a fort knox of sandboxes and SELinux, that's fantastic, as long as you give me the keys and blueprints, and for christ sake, stop pretending that my phone isn't a computer.
How to explore your scientific values and develop a vision for your field
I really like Groovy as a general purpose scripting language. I"m sure most people use Python for the kind of things I use Groovy for, but I had to use Groovy with Grails 15 years ago and Groovy has stuck as my scripting language of choice even though I haven't used Grails in ten years.
"marketing, ground team, recruiting" aren't capital though?
By rate I think you mean $/day or $/hour. There is a more lucrative approach:

Charge for the value you deliver not the time it takes. E.g. you increased the client's sales by $500,000 for a net profit of $100,000 - charge $20,000. You saved the client $150,000 by doing something differently - charge $30,000.

When you consistently deliver measurable value to clients, you won't be staying in a full-time job for long. Consulting will be far more fun.
I use Logseq which writes to markdown files, and then sync/diff against a Logseq folder in iCloud. It generally works. I can write changes on my phone using the app, and it’ll pull it back to my computer once the phone goes online. If there’s pending changes on both sides, rare given Logseq’s daily file structure, I have it prompt on my computer to fix.

The dual folder structure helps identify the collisions and manage them appropriately, versus whatever handling iCloud would do.

It’s probably still awkward on a non-Apple device as I’m sure iCloud web access is not great, but it works.
>Australia (supply locked up by China)

What's that based on? Australia exporting most of it to China doesn't prove anything except that China is a major trading partner for Australia. If the problem is securing lithium for the US, then 1) the US could buy more (Lithium is sold for cash, not given away), or 2) it could set up more mines in Nevada (which has a ton of lithium, and would have lower transport costs to boot).

The sign up process is not very fluid to me. First off, I don't really like password signups in general, but on Android I was able to get auto generated password for the password field but was stuck because the Google password manager didn't recognize the other field as a password confirmation. So I couldn't copy between them and going to a different app to write a long password and going back and copy paste just seemed like too much work.

Esp since I had to write my email already and also pick a username.. why do I need a username for a note taking app?

How about simplifying the on boarding into just email+click link? Maybe also picking a password after you are in?
“ mimic doctor’s notes and reduce the amount of paperwork a physician would have to manually compile.”

So there is AI making up doctors notes ? That’s extremely contentious.

In Ontario doctors are paid per patient per year and then also per visit / procedure. This doctor is just outsourcing her doctor work that taxpayers are footing the bill for - to AI. This is wrong in so many ways. What a lazy practitioner!

Sure, that works for some cases, but what if the crime already happened? For example, what if your house was broken into and your stuff was taken?

In that case, would your only recourse be to hire a private investigator to identify the culprit, and then personally show up at their house to exact your revenge? That doesn’t seem sustainable.
Suggestion - what about just not doing it? Like the article says - it's all physics. No matter fast and precise she is, a small 10 year old girl will have a harder time generating sufficient power to get the break without some risk. And for what? They'll still have concrete blocks around in 5 or 10 years when she's bigger if she still really wants to do that break.

My 10 year old is a hefty guy, and I'm personally not crazy about him breaking boards too much.
